Thermodynamic and trace-element modelling of charnockiticenderbitic magmas

Abstract

[ES] La creación de la corteza continental sigue siendo difícil de entender y es objeto de controversia. En este trabajo, exploramos la génesis de los granitoides con ortopiroxeno conocidos como charnockitascharnoenderbitas-enderbitas. Las rocas charnockíticas comparten similitudes con los TTGs (tonalitatrondhjemita- granodiorita) en cuanto a su composición de elementos mayores, traza e isótopos, pero difieren significativamente en que su mineralogía incluye minerales hidratados, especialmente anfíbol y biotita. Ambos tipos de rocas son predominantemente de edad Arcaica-Proterozoica, por lo que comprender su origen es crucial para entender la evolución temprana de la Tierra, como se propone en los modelos termomecánicos de la geodinámica Arcaica. El desafío petrogenético clave es descifrar los mecanismos que conducen a la cristalización de fases anhidras, en lugar de fases hidratadas, en magmas parentales originados de la misma fuente y dentro del mismo contexto geodinámico. En este estudio, abordamos este problema utilizando cálculos termodinámicos de equilibrios de fases y modelización de elementos traza para su comparación con una extensa base de datos de TTGs y rocas charnockíticas de todo el mundo de edad Arcaico-Paleoproterozoico (3.8-1.6 Ga). Los mecanismos de producción de magma incluyen: 1) Fusión hidratada de rocas máficas dentro del campo de estabilidad de la granate y 2) fraccionamiento magmático para producir magmas con anfíbol (TTGs). Además, se necesita una disminución de la actividad del agua del fundido para producir magmas charnockíticos, quizás como resultado de la infiltración de CO2, como en la transformación regional de estado sólido de gneises de anfíbol en gneises de ortopiroxeno durante el metamorfismo progresivo.

The formation of silicic continental crust remains elusive and controversial. Here, we explore the genesis of orthopyroxene-bearing granitoid rocks known as charnockites-charnoenderbites-enderbites. Charnockitic rocks share close similarities with TTGs (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite) in terms of major and trace element and isotopic composition, but strongly differ in that their mineralogy includes hydrous minerals, notably amphibole and biotite). Both rock types are predominantly of Archean-Proterozoic age, so that understanding their origin is pivotal early Earth evolution, as proposed by thermomechanical models of Archean geodynamics. The key petrogenetic challenge is deciphering the mechanisms leading to the crystallisation of anhydrous, rather than hydrous, phases, in parental magmas originated from the same source and within the same geodynamic context. In this study, we address this problem using thermodynamics, trace element modelling and geochemical analysis of an extensive database of worldwide Archean-Paleoproterozoic (3.8-1.6 Ga) TTGs and charnockitic rocks. The mechanisms of magma production include: 1) Wet melting of mafic rocks within the garnet stability field and 2) magmatic fractionation to yield amphibole-bearing magmas (TTGs). In addition, a depression of the water activity of the melt by is needed to yield charnockitic magma, perhaps as a result of CO2 infiltration as in the regional solid-state transformation of amphibole gneisses into orthopyroxene gneisses during prograde metamorphism.
